Description

Afghan Cairo Rug Collection – A Legacy of Middle Eastern Craft

Inspired by the grandeur of old Egypt, the Afghan Cairo Rug Collection pays homage to historic designs first brought to life by Middle Eastern weavers who set up their craft in Egypt centuries ago. Today, this tradition continues with even greater refinement in the skilled hands of Afghan artisans.

Heritage Meets Excellence

Crafted in Afghanistan and expertly finished in Pakistan, each Cairo rug is woven from the finest Gazne wool—sourced from local sheep known for producing exceptionally strong and lustrous fibers. Afghan weaving stands apart for its meticulous detail and sophisticated execution, surpassing the refinement often found in similar Pakistani or Indian interpretations.

Authenticity in Every Thread

Dyed using natural pigments, these rugs carry a soft, time-worn elegance that will enrich your home for decades. The intricate patterns, rooted in ancient Egyptian motifs, are reimagined in fresh, modern color palettes that complement both classic and contemporary interiors.

A Modern Take on Tradition

The Cairo collection blends history with innovation, creating a bridge between old-world artistry and today’s design sensibilities. The result is a floor piece that feels timeless yet refreshingly current—luxury you can see, feel, and live with.

Own a piece of living history—where the elegance of old Egypt meets the mastery of Afghan weaving.

Care guide

Wool

Wool is one of the most durable and versatile materials for rugs. It is naturally stain-resistant, resilient, and warm, making it a popular choice for high-traffic areas.

Care Tips:

  1. Regular Vacuuming: Use a suction-only vacuum to remove surface dirt. Avoid using the beater bar to prevent pulling fibers.
  2. Spot Cleaning: Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Use a mixture of mild detergent and water for stubborn stains, but test in a small, inconspicuous area first.
  3. Deep Cleaning: Professional cleaning every 3-5 years will keep the rug vibrant and fresh.
  4. Rotation: Rotate the rug every 6-12 months to ensure even wear.

General Recommendations

  • Rug Pads: Use rug pads to prevent slipping and reduce wear.
  • Sun Protection: Minimize direct sunlight exposure by using curtains or UV-blocking window films.
  • Storage: If storing rugs, roll them with acid-free paper and keep them in a cool, dry place.

We have some extra services so you can feel the tactile material, even if you're not able to come to our showroom in Antwerp.
